Stock Subject to the Plan A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Corporation on the open market. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock initially reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan shall not exceed [ ] shares. Such authorized share reserve is comprised of (i) the number of shares which remain available for issuance, as of the Stockholder Approval Date, under the Predecessor Plan as last approved by the Corporation's stockholders, comprised of the shares subject to the outstanding options to be incorporated into the Plan as of the Stockholder Approval Date and the additional shares which would otherwise be available for future grant under the Predecessor Plan (estimated to be 395,800 shares in the aggregate as of March 1, 1998), plus (ii) an additional increase of [ ] shares authorized by the Board on [ ], 1998, subject to approval by the Corporation's stockholders at the 1998 Annual Meeting. B. No one person participating in the Plan may receive options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances for more than [250,000] shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per calendar year, beginning with the 1998 calendar year. C. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options (including options incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan) shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent those options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently cancelled or repurchased by the Corporation, at the original issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan. However, should the exercise price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of Common Stock or should shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan be withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of an option or the vesting of a stock issuance under the Plan, then the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the option is exercised or which vest under the stock issuance, and not by the net number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of such option or stock issuance. D. If any change is made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under this Plan per calendar year, (iii) the number and/or class of securities for which grants are subsequently to be made under the Automatic Option Grant Program to new and continuing non-employee Board members, (iv) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option under the Plan and (v) the number and/or class of securities and price per share in effect under each outstanding option incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan. Such adjustments to the outstanding options are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such options. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Exercise of Stock Options If stock options granted in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan are exercised: (1) Crescent Equities shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount equal to the exercise price paid to Crescent Equities by the exercising party; (2) Crescent Equities shall, as of the date on which the purchase of the REIT Shares is consummated by such exercising party, be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2) hereof an amount equal to the fair market value (computed using the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the definition of "Value" in Article I hereof) as of the date on which such purchase of REIT Shares is consummated by such exercising party) of the REIT Shares delivered by Crescent Equities to such exercising party; and (3) the General Partner's Partnership Interest shall remain unchanged, and the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2, based on the amount deemed to be contributed, determined pursuant to Section 4.6.B(2); provided that, for purposes of calculating the "Deemed Value of the Partnership" and the "Deemed Partnership Interest Value" under Section 4.2, the "Value" of a REIT Share shall be the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the definition of the term "Value" in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share as of the date on which the purchase of REIT Shares is consummated by the exercising party.
Shares Subject to the Plan Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum number of Shares that the Company may issue for all Awards is 1,453,334 Shares, provided that the Company shall not make additional awards under the Commonwealth Energy Corporation 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and assumed by Commerce Energy Group, Inc. For all Awards, the Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, or Shares that the Company has reacquired or otherwise holds in treasury. Shares that are subject to an Award that for any reason expires, is forfeited, is cancelled, or becomes unexercisable, and Shares that are for any other reason not paid or delivered under the Plan shall again, except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law, be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan. In addition, the Committee may make future Awards with respect to Shares that the Company retains from otherwise delivering pursuant to an Award either (i) as payment of the exercise price of an Award, or (ii) in order to satisfy the withholding or employment taxes due upon the grant, exercise, vesting or distribution of an Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 13 below, the number of Shares that are available for ISO Awards shall be determined, to the extent required under applicable tax laws, by reducing the number of Shares designated in the preceding paragraph by the number of Shares granted pursuant to Awards (whether or not Shares are issued pursuant to such Awards), provided that any Shares that are either issued or purchased under the Plan and forfeited back to the Plan, or surrendered in payment of the Exercise Price for an Award shall be available for issuance pursuant to future ISO Awards.
Exercise of Stock Option (a) The Optionee may exercise this Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Option, the Optionee may give written notice to the Board of Directors or its authorized committee (the “Administrator”) of his or her election to purchase some or all of the vested Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased. Payment of the Stock Option purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) in the form of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan and that have been held by the Optionee for at least six months prior to the exercise date; or (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Administrator to pay the Stock Option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the Stock Option purchase price as so provided in this subsection (iii), the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The delivery of certificates representing the Option Shares will be contingent upon the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of full payment for the Option Shares, as set forth above and any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Administrator may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. (b) Certificates for shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be issued and delivered to the Optionee upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of the shares subject to this Stock Option, or to have any of the rights of a holder, unless and until this Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have issued and delivered the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock. (c) The minimum number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option is being exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option at the time. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.
